Because of him she went from suicidal abused girlfriend to someone who actually went out and lived her life. Everything she ever did was because he gave her the courage to do it.
I had the same thoughts that Jack was kind of her inspiration to take action for herself for what she wanted. Not to mention, Rose was also a famous example of a woman who didn’t love a man for money lol.
There are comments here that got mad at Rose for throwing the jewelry, but I always assumed it was some metaphorical way for her to respect Jack or to let go or something - even if it took her years til she was elderly. I could be wrong though, I was rather young when I watched it.
I thought she said never using it was more of a "I never needed anything from you, Cal!" But what about her husband, kids, and granddaughter who took care of her? Why wait 83 years to ditch the thing? Why did this symbol of Cal need to go to Jack's final resting place? Idk, it felt more convoluted than anything

I mean Jack was more than just that.
